TAEYANG’S POV

He woke up after one of the worst nights of his life; Jiyong was up all night crying and there was nothing he could do to help him; Seunghyun was back with Bom as his girlfriend. He wanted Seunghyun back but not the way he came, his presence was going to hurt Jiyong and he couldn’t have it. He needed to see his supposed best friend, to give him a good kicking.

“Hmmm….” Jiyong stretched beside him. “You’re awake” Jiyong said as he took his time staring at Jiyong; he was beautiful, with his face shinning as bright as the morning sun, with his messy dark hair and his pouty red lips. Even with droopy eyes from his all crying, he still managed to take his breath away.

“Yeah thanks to someone, I didn’t sleep much” he said as he tore his eyes away.

“Taeyang, I told you not to come. I was fine” Jiyong got out the bed and into the bathroom.

“yeah right, says the one who opened the door with bloodshot eyes and cried on my shoulders all night” he yelled back as he picked his phone from the bedside drawer. When Jiyong texted him to tell him Bom was back, his first instinct was to drive straight to Jiyong’s but the look in his eyes when he opened the door, told him it wasn’t the news he was expecting.

“Taeyang its okay, I don’t want talk about it anymore” Jiyong said as he walked out of the bathroom shirtless. “I’ve decided I’m done crying”

“Good coz we need that beautiful voice of yours and your piano skills for the benefit” he tried looking anywhere but at Jiyong; everything about Jiyong was flawless, with his unscarred milky skin.

“Your voice sounds better”

He looked through his phone; he needed to tell his parents that he was with Jiyong when he saw the message from Seunghyun.

Taeyang>>>Seunghyun

Can’t make brunch, have a gig today. It’s a benefit, you should come; it starts at 4pm sharp. We need to talk.

He didn’t want to seem so nostalgic but he had no choice, he didn’t know what to make of Seunghyun, his friend suddenly felt like a stranger.

“I’m ready” Jiyong said distracting him from his thoughts and he looked up to see a dashing Jiyong. “So I’m gonna go set up with the guys, and you should get home and take a shower and meet me later”

“I’m thinking about stopping at Seunghyun’s before I get home” He hated how Jiyong froze at the mention of Seunghyun’s name “If you don’t want me too, i….”

“No No No, you should go. I’m sure you guys have a lot to catch up on” they were outside his house now. “Uhmm I’ll just see you later..”

“Aren’t you forgetting something”? He asked as Jiyong was getting into his car; lately he’d been asking Jiyong to give him a goodbye kiss on his cheek whenever they were going their seperate if no one was around, it started as a joke but then he loved the feel of Jiyong’s lips and some days he wished he was brave enough to turn his face and capture those soft lips but he knew he couldn’t take advantage of Jiyong.

“Come early and I’ll do it” Jiyong smirked as he got into his car, waved and drove off. He made his way to see his so called best friend.

Taeyang>>>Seunghyun

I’m outside. Come out.

He sent the text and waited by his car.

“Taeyan….”Seunghyun was saying before he grabbed him by the shirt, slamming his fist straight into Seunghyun’s face.

“That one is for leaving me” he said and punched again “That one is for Jiyong”. He was so furious; Seunghyun had no reason to leave without a word.

“Are you done”? Seunghyun asked with his back against the car and blood dripping from the side of his lips.

“NO”!!

“I missed you too Youngbae” Seunghyun said and laughed.

“YAH! Do you know how much I’ve been through for you, and what is this I hear about you being with Bom”?

“Yeah she’s my girlfriend” It had to be lie, Seunghyun loved Jiyong and everyone could see it. It all made no sense.

“Seunghyun don’t lie to me, you may have everyone fooled but not me”

“I’m serious”

“Fine. I’m leaving, for a second I really though we were still friends but I was only kidding myself” he said as he walked around to get in his car; he’d been holding back his feelings for Jiyong because he knew Seunghyun deserved him, but not anymore. He was going to go for it.

“Taeyang wait” Seunghyun sighed. He waited as Seunghyun told him everything, from how he struck a deal with his grandfather to live with him so he could make the call to clear Jiyong’s mothers name and he’d been in China till after Jiyong’s little show at the house in China which caused him to be sent to New York where he met Bom, who was the condition for his return. He needed Bom to act as his girlfriend so he could return to Seoul, and stay away from Jiyong.

“I just don’t understand, you’re back now, your grandfather will never know” The entire story made his head spin, it seemed like one of those cliché dramas.

“Don’t you know my grandfather, he has people watching me”

“And Bom, she knows all about you and Jiyong”?

“Yeah”

“And she agreed… wow I feel bad for hating her all those times” he ran his hands through his hair. He was exhausted, earlier he wanted to stake both Seunghyun and Bom and now he couldn’t help but feel bad for his friend, but it also meant Jiyong had to suffer yet again.

“Well it doesn’t matter anymore, I know you and Jiyong are together” Seunghyun’s eyes were on the floor. “I know you slept at his place last night” Seunghyun said and he had no choice but laugh, Seunghyun was still the same person.

“ert”!!

“YAH”!!!! Seunghyun yelled as he chased his round the car. He really missed his pabo best friend. “Youngbae stop there”!!

“ANI …. Why would I stop for a ert”?

Seunghyun chased him around the car before they finally got too exhausted to run and they collapsed on the bonnet of the car. “Jiyong and I aren’t together” he finally said.

“What”?

“Yeah… Jiyong spent his entire night crying. Yah Seunghyun I know you’re doing this for him but try not to flaunt it in his face, he was really hurt yesterday”

“Why would he, its not like he likes me? He hates me and would puke if he saw my face” Seunghyun was the smartest people he knew, but he walking rubbish. He got down from the car to face his best friend.

“What are you talking about”?

“Don’t lie Taeyang, I heard him telling you about it the day at lunch, he was even using the Samsung you got him” He thought long and hard till he remembered the day Seunghyun left, earlier during lunch time he and Jiyong had been talking about Seunghyun’s grandfather.

“WOW! You’re really stupid Seunghyun, maybe I should have just professed my love to Jiyong and made sweet love to him”

“YAH TAEYANG!!. That’s my…”

“Your what. You need to get your together and talk to Jiyong, he was dying to tell something that day”

“Tell me what”?

“Just talk to him, and get off my car or ill be late and miss out on kissing Jiyong later” Seunghyun was giving him the death stare “Don’t be late for the show, 4pm. Come with Bom and don’t forget to donate”

“Since when do you do these kinds of things, you never used to like singing in public”

“Well it was Jiyong’s idea, since a certain someone packed up and left. Someone had to take care of the orphanages that certain person left behind” He said before zooming off.

SEUNGHYUN’S POV

He arrived at TOP College’s auditorium and it was packed; he arrived with Bom and was immediately led to a reserved seat. He could hear whispers from around the room but he couldn’t care less, his eyes swarm the room looking for Jiyong but he was no where to be found and the lights were dimming.

“I don’t understand why we have to come, we could’ve just seen Tae later” Bom complained. She complained on the ride and he was starting to get tired of her and regretting his actions to go with her in the first place.

The show started and he was a little disappointed when he realized he had to sit through a few performances before Taeyang would finally make an appearance and his patience was running thin when Jiyong suddenly appeared behind the piano, his heart was racing. The last time he’d seen Jiyong play, it was his defining moment; the moment he knew he was in love.

Jiyong seemed pretty loved by the crowd, judging by the amount of screams he got when he walked out. The music soon started and Taeyang was good as always but his eyes were on Jiyong; the way he played with so much passion. It was almost as if Jiyong was strumming his heartstrings as he couldn’t get his heart to stop going haywire. Taeyang soon finished, took a bow but Jiyong remained and the entire hall was quiet.

“Hello” Jiyong spoke into the microphone and the entire crowd went haywire. He’d never seen Jiyong look so confident, he looked so y and it made him uneasy how many people had their eyes on his Jiyong. “Uhmm, I know I was supposed to play Titanium but I’ve decided to let go of that song” he continued as the crowd complained. Titanium was the same song Jiyong played for him and he saying he wanted to let go of the song could only mean Jiyong was letting go of him. “Sorry but that song used to make me happy but now it just makes me sad. I’ll play something better” The crowed cheered this time, and then he started playing.

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

But I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

Jiyong’s eyes locked with his now; the entire auditorium was quiet. Jiyong had tears in his eyes, and he wanted nothing but to run up to him and take him far away but someone in the crowd climbing up to the stage to finish the song distracted him from rising up from his seat.

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody

(I used to know)

Somebody

(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)

(That I used to know)

(I used to know)

Somebody

JIYONG’S POV

The curtain dropped before him but his eye remained on the direction Seunghyun was sitting until some tapped his shoulder.

“Ji…are you okay”? It was Taeyang.

“Yeah I’m fine. Sorry I changed the song last minute”

“Are you kidding, cant you hear them. They love it, lets go say hey to people” Taeyang pulled him up. He was in no mood to socialize but he had no choice. They walked around saying hello to different people and after what seemed like an eternity, they were finally done and the only people left was Bom and Seunghyun, the same people he wasn’t ready to see. Seunghyun had his arms around Bom’s waist.

“OMO, Jiyong you were sooo good” Bom ran to him, enveloping him in a hug “           I want to join, I’ll be the main singer. You can just stick to piano” Bom said as she clung to his arm.

“Bommie things like that don’t fit you” Seunghyun said smiling as he pulled Bom away, all he wanted was for Seunghyun to smile at him but Seunghyun acted like he wasn’t in the room as Taeyang, Bom, and shared an inside joke. He was jealous, Seunghyun seemed like his normal self with the other two but with him, it was as if they were strangers.

“By the way” Taeyang spoke up when they were done laughing “Wasn’t that your cousin Seungri earlier”? Taeyang asked Seunghyun while stood there like a statue till someone hugged him from behind.

“Hey” It was the person that finished the song for him earlier.

“Who are you”? He asked as he stepped away from the person, the others were looking at him now.

“Hi I’m Seungri, and I think I’m in love with you” The person said before flashing a smile. The person was actually very handsome and he couldn’t help but blush. “Have dinner with me”?

“SEUNGRI”! Seunghyun yelled from behind, scaring him a little.

“Whoa…. Seunghyun you’re here” The person walked past him over to Seunghyun.

“What are you doing here Seungri. You’re supposed to be in Japan”

“I just transferred here. Your mom didn’t tell you, I’m staring TOP College. I just thought I’d check the place out today and I’m glad I did” Seungri was eyeing him now and his blush returned as Seungri walked over to him “Please tell me your name and put me out of my misery” Seungri had his arm around his waist.

“uhmm” he was so embarrassed at how speechless this person was making him in front of everyone “Ji… Jiyong”

“Wow even your name is amazing”! Seungri said pulling him closer. “Why don’t we ditch these people and….”

“He’s not going anywhere with you” Seunghyun interjected before taking his hand and pulled away, towards the exit. He wanted to snatch his hand away but he liked it, it was the first physical contact he’d had with Seunghyun since he got back. “Get in” Seunghyun ordered with the car door open for him to get in and he did without hesitation.

The car was quiet for the first couple minutes “Why..”

“Stay away from Seungri. He’s a playboy; trust me I know, we’re cousins” Seunghyun said with his eyes fixed on the road making him laugh. “Why are you laughing”? Seunghyun was looking at him now.

“You do realize you just left your girlfriend back there right. Were you jealous”? he was still smiling as he spoke. When Seunghyun walked into the auditorium earlier with Bom, he decided he was going to give up on him but seeing how angry Seunghyun got when he was with Seungri brought back so many feelings.

“I’m not jealous, I…I’m..”

“Pull over”

“WHAT”?

“Hyunnie I said pullover”!!! He just needed to do something, if he didn’t do it; it was going to kill him.

Seunghyun finally pulled over “I just want to try something” he said as he moved closer to Seunghyun.

“Jiyong…” Seunghyun was saying before he pressed his lips against his. The kiss was light at first; Seunghyun’s lips were still as soft and sweet as ever, and his unshaven beard tickled him a little and he liked it. He wanted nothing more, than to deepen the kiss but he started to pull back when he felt it, Seunghyun’s arms tightening around his back, pulling him closer till he crossed over the gear and his legs were circled around Seunghyun, with his back pressed against the steering wheel. He felt seunghyun’s tongue against his lips, and he parted them, giving Seunghyun full access. A moan escaped from his lips as seunghyun’s tongue entered him; they’d never kissed like that before and he could only thank their time apart. He felt Seunghyun break from him and he was about to protest when he felt Seunghyun lips on his neck; it started with light kisses and then some nibbling and the sounds he was making could only be described as pure lust. “Hnnng Seunghyun…” Never had he thought of his neck being as a source of pleasure and his could feel the blood rushing down below and he could feel Seunghyun poking him too and it felt good.  “Hnng…” Seunghyun was still feasting on his neck.

“I want you….Yongie”
